Students House
United States historic place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Students House is a historic dormitory on 96 Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1913 and designed by Boston firm Kilham and Hopkins. It was funded by an organization of local well-to-do Back Bay residents to provide affordable housing for female students attending area schools. Most of the students housed in its early years attended the New England Conservatory of Music, its population dominated by other schools after the conservatory opened its own dormitory. It was sold in 1972 to Northeastern University,[2] which uses it to house freshman students, and is referred to as Kerr Hall.[3]
